The sad thing is that had you not taken it apart, no one will never know about the terrible conversion job. And had it been passed to another owner and to another, eventually it will magically "become" an UltraFx saber with Ultra Sabers, LLC ending up with the bad rap. I wonder if it will be wise for companies such as Ultra Sabers and TCSS, to start engraving "DIY Kit" on the aluminum blade holder in the near future or to start issuing some type of "Certificate of Authenticity" with the real UltraFX and the TCSS converted sabers.

That really would not be necessary.

Those of us that do warranty service know what an Ultra converted saber looks like on the inside. Basically, if you follow the instructions that are supplied with the DIY kit to the letter. You will see EXACTLY how the conversions are done at Ultra Sabers.

Basically, we know our own work, and the work of the others that provide the service.

Conversions like the one above are VERY easy to tell that they were not done by Ultra Sabers Techs.

Kinda reminds me of what the inside of my ESB Vader (That I too got off Ebay) in my sig looked like on the inside...right Jango?

Of course, it didn't have scotch tape that I know of.

2010...I certainly hope it's better than 2009 was! 10/10/10~Well, so far with my Father's passing away, I'd say that this year was actually worse than 2009, even the fact that I now have a full time job (For now) isn't anywhere near enough to make up for that...so...maybe 2011 will be better? I'm not holding my breath...

I use scotch tape... But only to help hold the blade holder to the sound module housing on PPlastic Stock Blade holders in the Anakin and the Vader Sabers.

Masking tape or Scotch tape were BOTH used by MR...

Well, yes, I know that you can use scotch tape for THAT...but the other things that it was used on in LDM's pictures on the other hand...

Jango, I took pictures, and Derek seems to think that mine was originally done by Darth Vader USA on Ebay.
